I`m currently using an Asus P4PE with Intel i845PE and a Creative GeForce
FX5200.
It can be reproduced calling 'vidcontrol VESA_800x600' or loading any of the
graphics screensavers, say 'logo_saver'. When I run these commands the PC
literally freezes up, and autoreboots in a while.
I really can`t say that the graphics card is damaged, because XFree86+NV works
nice. By the way, the NVIDIA XFree86 driver only works on Linux (I tested
Slackware with the same hardware configuration); on FreeBSD
(/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver), the PC locks up quite the same way VESA
console modes do.
The problems show up both in 4.8 and 5.0/5.1 releases. X11 version is 4.3.0.
I wasn`t able to find any coredump after the crash, but these are 3 examples
of 'dmesg' outputs due to a _nice_ screensaver:
Fatal trap 1: privileged instruction fault while in vm86 mode
instruction pointer = 0xc000:0xc24a
stack pointer = 0x0:0xfe2
frame pointer = 0x0:0x0
code segment = base 0x10000, limit 0x20004, type 0x0
= DPL 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, vm86, IOPL = 0
current process = 13 (swi7: tty:sio clock)
trap number = 1
panic: privileged instruction fault
-
